You may have heard of the Raspberry Pi Pico W. It's a small, single-board computer that's perfect for DIY projects. The best part? It just got even better.
This month, Bluetooth support is coming to the PicoW. That means you'll be able to use it for all sorts of new projects, like controlling devices remotely or streaming audio. Raspberry Pi has been hard at work adding this support, and they're expecting to release it to the public in January.
Getting excited - Bluetooth support is on its way!
The Raspberry Pi PicoW is the coolest iteration of the Raspberry Pi Pico line. It was designed to be even more compact and efficient than its predecessors. One of the main additions to this model is Bluetooth support.
Adding Bluetooth to the Pi Pico opens up a number of possibilities for the tiny computer. For one, it makes it easier to connect to devices. Additionally, it allows for communication with other Bluetooth-enabled devices.
This makes the Pi Pico a more versatile tool for a variety of tasks. With Bluetooth support, you can use it for more than just programming and hardware tinkering.
First and foremost, make sure you've got the latest version of the Pico C SDK installed. This will ensure that your device can interact with the upcoming Bluetooth support.
You may also want to familiarize yourself with the Raspberry Pi Pico C library and look at other people’s code examples so you'll know how to get started once the update is finally released.
